Tip #4 - How to add a Section Symbol

There are two ways to add the "section symbol" (§) to documents in word. The case by case way and the macro way.

In the case by case way, you need to click on "insert" then "symbol." Then click on the "special characters tab." The § symbol will be located in the list window. Click "insert" and you're done. Check out these illustrations!

But perhaps you don't want to do this every time you need the section symbol. If that's the case, you can copy and paste the symbol every time you need it or you can create a macro for it.

To create a macro, go back to the symbol popup screen and click "shortcut key." In the next window, figure out what combination of keys you'd like to press to make the section symbol appear. I've chosen "alt-S." Click "assign" and you're all done.

Very interesting blog. Alot of blogs I see these days don't really provide anything that I'm interested in, but I'm most definately interested in this one. Just thought that I would post and let you know.legal notes
